How it feels

A lighthearted pixel-art puzzle-platformer where you throw your own head to solve mechanisms and double-jump, mixing cute fantasy visuals with slightly offbeat humour.

What players say

Players praise the charming art, music and clever puzzle mechanics, but many warn that later levels become sprawling and punishing, with one reviewer calling world 9 a roadblock that demands leaps of logic most will not make. The game asks for extreme foresight and tight time-based ranking, and some say the controls lack buffering for the precision required.
